Papakea never disappoints. Beautiful unit with all amenities at a wonderful price. Papakea grounds are fun, welcoming, clean and staff is very friendly. Will definitely return. Aloha!

The condo was exactly what we had envisioned. Very comfortable for a family of 4 and included everything necessary for days at the beach. The staff at the property were extremely friendly and worked constantly to keep the entire property clean! We were stranded at this property during the early days of the terrible fire and the resort staff did everything they could to keep guests informed and as comfortable as possible.

Would give 5 stars if the cleaning was a little better and the TV worked. A

Mostly enjoyed our stay. Papakea had a quiet relaxed atmosphere, well kept grounds and pool areas and friendly, approachable staff. It was nice to have lots of family friendly activities to enjoy. The beach next door was not too busy, sandy at far end with some reef to explore. Kaanapali beach is a short walk away but we chose to drive so we could take beach gear. Close to cafes, healthy food market and groceries. We were pleased with the layout of our condo and water views from the balcony and main bedroom. On the downside, we were disappointed not having beach towels for two days and the challenge to get some after being told there were photos of them sitting on the beds. We were never supplied tea towels and a cooler arrived only after we requested it. Over all we enjoyed our stay but as our group rented other condos and had a comparison I would probably choose a different one next time.

You don't get a better Maui experience - private manicured grass to a sea wall. Sunrises and sunsets beyond spectacular. Snorkeling and beaches and of course pool time!

Nice place in an amazing location! Walking outside and seeing the islands across the ocean every morning was incredible.

We had a great time during our stay at Papakea Resort. The grounds were beautiful and so well kept. The condo was extremely clean and had everything we needed (the only additional item that would have been nice to have is a small cooler to use during our stay). We loved walking to the boardwalk and spending time at the restaurants and beach. My Perfect Stays was fantastic about communicating, keeping us informed and providing activity information. Thank you for a lovely stay, we would definitely visit again.

Great place to stay for your Maui trip. They have beach towels and beach chairs, the condo is decorated in a great way. My checking in process was not the best, it was kinda of a rude experience and very rushed. The condo itself has AC units in the living room and in the rooms, including fans. It truly feels like a home away from home. The condo doesn't have much of a beach, it's very small. My only issue was that it was not as clean as I would like to receive a place. It is outdated in the bathrooms—but there is hot water with good pressure. Overall, I would stay here again.

My perfect stay did a great job. They checked in often, and when there was a problem with our place, they quickly fixed things. Our place was clean and perfect!

The condo was perfect for us. The view of the ocean was great, we were able to watch a humpback whale breach one evening from our balcony. Within walking distance are several food trucks, a grocery store and Slappy Cakes which has an amazing breakfast. The parking lot seems to fill up pretty quickly, although we were able to find a parking space every evening. Overall we really enjoyed our stay and would stay there again if we return.

Very disappointed at checking in
The girl barely gave us the time of the day
Had to get the phone call while we still had questions.
The grounds of the resort are beautiful making up for the non beach access. Master bedroom is nice. The rest of the unit is very small with too much clutter.
Very small TV. Sorry for my honest review.

This unit has all you need for a great family vacation. The location of the unit has a partial ocean view from the master bedroom and patio. Kitchen fully stocked with all you need for a meal for 6.

Great location with beautiful sunset views. Clean suite and easy check-in process. We really enjoyed the pool, pickle ball and hot tub. We would have appreciated more reasonable supply of dish soap/toilet paper/laundry soap. Would recommend!

We found out one day before leaving we were going to Maui. VRBO had many listings available and we found what we needed for our needs.

The condo had nice decor and clean no complaints, or maybe just one but not a big deal. the wall plug in the kitchen the left side by the sink didn't work, just mentioning it cuz the coffee pot would have been much easier to work with on that side but we couldnt do it. one more thing the carafe to the coffee maker is too small i had to hold it up to get the coffee to drip into the carafe which was an inconvenience & the spare coffee pot doesnt work at all. I suggest they buy a new coffee pot and fix that outlet. We did enjoy our stay and the comforts of the condo.

We have stayed at Papakea several times and it never disappoints. The staff are fantastic and the property is always extremely well maintained. Unfortunately, that didn’t translate into suite G302. It felt a bit tired and in need of some maintenance/refresh.
-When we checked in there was no hand soap in the bathrooms.
-We had 1 single wine glass
-The coffee maker didn’t work because the carafe was from a different brand of machine.
-The dryer is in need of service as the as the lint trap and access panel were loose.
When we brought some of the concerns the property management, they did a great job at quickly trying to address them. They were very responsive.
Overall our experience was okay, but we were a little let down given the price we paid.
Thanks,

Our large family rented two condos at Papakea Resort and had a WONDERFUL vacation! This unit wasn't quite as updated as another we rented, but it was very nice, very clean, had a well-stocked kitchen, a few beach towels, chairs, and everything we could possibly need. I'd definitely stay here again! Thanks so much!

Nicely suprised at the cleanliness comfort and funtionality of the unit. We had everthing that we needed so we could jump right into vacationland!
Love Papakea Resort for a chill atmosphere - not commecial like most resorts. Would recommend.

Everything was ready to go in the unit. Had chairs, towels, and bare essentials to get you started in your vacation. Papakea is an amazing place to stay and our family had a great time. Couldn’t figure out how to keep fan on at night in the bedroom, but that wouldn’t deter us from staying again. We loved this unit, and resort, and would come back again!

The property was even better in person than it appeared in the photos. The kids having their own room and bathroom was fantastic for us so we could sleep in and have some privacy. The kitchen had every supply you needed! We ate breakfast in the room, maybe pizzas, and even grilled out when we weren’t spending money in restaurants. The view of the ocean was wonderful and never got old. I also enjoyed the sound of the fountain while I slept, it was just outside the condo so very soothing. The parking spots are narrow so rent a small car, but we made it work with a Dodge Journey which is sizable. Kids say they wish we would have just stayed here the whole time and not moved to three different places.

We were delightfully surprised with our stay. For starters, the staff that works at the resort has customer satisfaction as their #1 priority. The room is charming and has just about everything that you could need. We used the kitchen quite a bit and found it to be fully stocked with the essentials. The resort itself is beautiful and very well maintained. We used the pool and hot tub daily and it met all of our needs. The six Weber grills around the pool for the guests to use are a nice touch and are also very well maintained. They were instrumental in all of our home cooked meals. While there is no beach directly in front of the resort, there are beautiful beaches mere minutes away, and it is a very short drive to Waler's Village. Again, this resort met or exceeded all of our expectations. Have I stayed in nicer/newer resorts? Yes - but I have also paid a heck of a lot more for them. I will be re-booking to stay here in future years.
